Today's OneWord: Content

There was much to be done before the holidays - lights to hang up, presents to wrap, tasty sweets to consume. I had bought myself a box of candy canes to stick into mugs of hot chocolate for some friends of mine, and while sitting at the glowing fireplace, I realized that, for the first time in a long time, I was content. I wasn't overjoyed, ecstatic, or overly energetic - but I was content. And that was enough.
